Thanks Glen....
Pic #1...had the brace bolts soaking all night...noticed that the threads have some type of sealant on them...so cleaning them out and will have to determine what type of sealant to use during reassembly.....
Pic #2...two front 15mm bolts with first cleaning....and will be ready to paint when fully cleaned....
Pic #3...this is the sealant that was embedded in the threads....
Pic #4...13mm side bolts for some odd reason....need to soak more in order to remove the old sealant...
Pic #5...interesting note is that both bolt heads have the same number and letter markings....even though they are different size bolts...I'm sure those markings have a significant meaning for both size bolts....
